Work for the dole and prison industry slavery

Government and Corporations to cash in on free labour

Work for the dole certainly offers a lot of variety. The impression given by the government is that most unemployed do creative and helpful work assisting the community.

Yes, there are-some work for the dole projects like this but even these type of work for the dole projects displace community and social workers. However, a large proportion, perhaps the majority of projects are not fun. They do not enhance your personality. They don't even count as training or as work experience.

Several examples are as follows:

In Guilford you can assist in repairing, renovating and repainting the local community centre.

In Bankstown the activity is landscaping and the bush regeneration.

In Bass Hill your work options include gardening, child care, general office duties and administration.

In Western Sydney you can be involved in landscaping, redesigning and revamping sections of the public housing estate.

And all the above should be carried out by fully paid unionised workers.

Work for the dole is the unemployed being forced to work for nothing. Councils, community organisations, schools, hospitals and others cash in on this free labour. They don't have to employ and pay proper workers. This is slavery.

Unionists should not merely oppose work for the dole because it is oppressive against unemployed people - which it is. They should oppose it because it deprives workers of jobs and is a bosses weapon to drive down wages and break down conditions.

We all have an interest in smashing this oppressive programme supported by both Liberals and Labor Parties.

If you agree with this, contact StandUp by e-mailing standup_@hotmail.com or, phone: (02) 9516 4486.

United we can defeat this reactionary scheme.

Prisoners

Prisoners are also a source of cheap labour. Prisons represent new jobs and the infusion of new money into some rural communities previously suffering from economical depression.

Not only is there money to be made in private prisons, there is money to be made out of prison labour.

In Victoria prisoner labour brings in $5.5 million per year. In Queensland prisoners are working in the River of Gold Slate Mine. They get $5 a day, with a productivity bonus of $2 a day. The contractors certainly have a river of gold with those sorts of labour costs.

They also take away jobs from the community like the electrical trades where workers in prison are being paid 10 cents an hour compared to say $20 and hour if it were a job taken up by a contractor working outside the prison.

Encouraging the government to spend more money in the right areas will ensure less people go to jail.

There should be more alternatives to prison, more support to the community from government-initiatives like education, TAFE, outreach centres, mentoring, drug rehabilitation and education, all of which prevents crime and will stop people being used as slave labour and taking away paid community work.

Illustration: Work for the Dole

Making young people responsible or blaming the victims.

What will be the consequences of the scheme?

There is a genuine concern that the Work for the Dole scheme will provide a pool of 'free labour' to replace existing jobs. Those who are most vulnerable to losing their work are low paid, part time and casuals and those with insecure tenure. These are often the unskilled; women and people from a non- English speaking background.

Given that the fastest growing sector of employment is low wage employment there is the possibility that Work for the Dole will further depress wages and conditions.

This could occur because low paid workers are essentially competing with unpaid workers for the same work. The changes in industrial relations legislation and the incremental deregulation of the labour market serve to exacerbate this.

Prison Industry

RESTORING TRUE JUSTICE:
Australian prisons are fast becoming the new asylums of the third millennium. The prison industry is booming, while Australia spends far less on mental health services than similar countries.

State of the prison system
The prison industry is in the process of an even more dramatic expansion. Private firms now own prisons and utilize their inmates as a labor force. This source of cheap labor is fed by harsher prison sentencing and mandatory incarceration under the "Three-Strikes law." As prisons become a bigger business, it's easy to see how convenient and lucrative such laws can be for those who own the prisons and its prisoners.

Three-Strikes law mandatory sentencing
Private firms now own prisons and utilize inmates as a source of cheap labor. Prisons also represent new jobs and the infusion of new money into some rural communities previously suffering from economical depression. In addition to jobs, prisons fuel a variety of high- and low-tech industries, including surveillance and electronic monitoring, food service, medicine, supplies, health care, drug treatment programs, telecommunications, lenders, architectural firms, and the construction trades (including masonry, fencing, barbed wired, etc.) as the prison industry continues to boom.

Police probe fatal Sydney shooting?

NSW POLICE FORCE!

They shot him twice in the legs but he still kept coming. So they killed him? 7 Sunrise interview witness at the scene.

The New South Wales Police Minister, John Watkins, says an independent investigation will be held into a fatal shooting by police in south-western Sydney last night. [?]

Police say they shot a man after he lunged at them with a knife at Greenacre.

Police were called to the scene of a fire in a unit on Waterloo Rd at around 7:20pm AEDT yesterday.

On arrival they found a 38-year-old man threatening fire officers with a 15-centimetre long knife.

Police say several witnesses saw them ask the man to drop the knife several times before using capsicum spray on him.

When he moved towards them they shot him several times in the torso.

But an independent witness claimed on CH/7 this morning, "They shot him twice in the legs. Then they shot him twice in the chest".

He later died in Bankstown Hospital.

The officers involved were taken to Bankstown police station for drug and alcohol testing.

Speaking at the scene last night, Superintendent Mick Plotecki called on any further witnesses to help with the investigation.

"We're doing a canvas of the area as we speak and we're looking on all the people in the area that have witnessed this to come forward so we can get what information they can provide," he said.

A critical incident team is now conducting an independent investigation?

Mr Watkins says a full police investigation has begun into the shooting and he will receive a briefing from police on the incident later today.

The internal investigation will be conducted by police from adjoining commands and the findings sent to the coroner?

Trust us we know best?

Mr Watkins has urged the public not to prejudge the outcome?

"The standard practice in these serious incidents is for officers from adjoining commands to come in and carry out that investigation to ensure that all proper procedures were followed," he said.

So much for independents!

Independent of the Police Force? Independent of the Government? Your mates at the PIC? Or your other mates at the ICAC? How independent is that really? About as independent as a white wash just like the death of 'TJ' Hickey?

I am disturbed by Governments 'actions' in relation to shuffling the police service. Clive Small seconded into Parliament like a cocky in a perch.

The one that suppose to be autonomous according to Lord Denning. Where the Parliamentary Secretary can ask the commissioner of police to 'report' then sack him if he is not satisfied with such report.

Truth
Who is telling the truth? Well I guess Dr. Ed. Chadbourne or Mr. Peter Ryan may have the answer to that. Dr. Chadbourne sacked by Peter Ryan and more specifically in my view because he elected deputy commissioners Dave Madden and Andrew Scipione as the best men in the service in relation to his qualifications to make a recommendation in his capacity as human resources.That is if you believe that a Dr. can be corrupted.

Honesty
What is happening between the Police Service and politics is quite extraordinary at the moment. If stand over tactics don't work tell half the truth honestly and follow the example of sheep.

Chess in the court (rolling the legal system).

Then after the NSW Parliamentary inquiry into the drugs at Cabramatta, then the drugs move out to southwest Sydney. Now police are supposedly chasing the crooks?]

So what did the police gain? A headline and the cost of 200 officers randomly able to enter a private home for the privilege of a search.

The raids took place in the Bankstown, Liverpool and Campsie local area commands.

Warrants were obtained to search the houses for evidence relating to drive-by shootings and murders earlier this year.

The operation was the direct result of [alleged], tip-offs concerning illegal firearms and drugs.

No further information was available.

Bob down and sniff my arse
These are serious invasions of privacy and draconian laws? Where are our democratic soldiers, the lawyers and the barristers who need to take on the government in the courts? Are they plastic? Or to busy feathering their nests? Or have they been cleverly purchased by this black government. Drug test police and politicians, and have the tests independently accessed.

Come in spinner? Or Come in sinner?
"You don't have, in my view very vigilant processes. I suppose it's akin to the problem of corruption within the police," he told the ABC radio. " People say there's corruption with the police (but) do you get the police to investigate problems within their own ranks?

Deeds
I am disturbed by Governments 'actions' in relation to shuffling the police service. Clive Small seconded into Parliament like a cocky in a perch. A breach of the fundamental Separation of Powers Doctrine does not in my view allow the thought of intervening, planning, or shuffling to stack the deck of our police service. The one that suppose to be autonomous according to Lord Denning. Where the Parliamentary Secretary can ask the commissioner of police to 'report' then sack him if he is not satisfied with such report.

Australia's Political Underworld...& their enforcers
The promotion of law and order means money to big business. Profits from insurance, security fixtures, patrol services and the like can only continue to grow if the perceived threat of uncontrollable crime wave escalates. In the past few months there have been many examples of the true nature of our blood thirsty politicians and their sinister attempts to spoon-feed a not so gullible public with their repetitious rhetoric.

Truth
Who is telling the truth? Well I guess Dr. Ed. Chadbourne or Mr. Peter Ryan may have the answer to that. Dr. Chadbourne sacked by Peter Ryan and more specifically in my view because he elected deputy commissioners Dave Madden and Andrew Scipione as the best men in the service in relation to his qualifications to make a recommendation in his capacity as human resources.That is if you believe that a Dr. can be corrupted.

Honesty
What is happening between the Police Service and politics is quite extraordinary at the moment. If stand over tactics don't work tell half the truth honestly and follow the example of sheep. Another word for it is sleaze, yeah. Another word for it is workplace harassment. Another word for it is bribing a Police Officer. Another word for it is misleading Parliament.

Tele Tales
Most people I know don't buy the Daily Telegraph. Why? Because of the lies and propaganda purported by them.

Lord Denning
Interesting how a member of the Police Board Mr. Tim Priest would hold grave fears for his safety from dangerous senior police but fails to name them or have them sacked. Rather Priest resigns as if he had no powers. Could that mean what he was saying is that the Governments are also corrupt?

Corrosive
Clive Small is Bob Carr's choice for the new Police Commissioner. It could only be the case considering his, Small's special appointment into Parliament House. Small who suffers from the little person syndrome is the ideal bend over boy who gets shuffled through his corrupt actions. Rolling the legal system for him after the fact, just like his predecessor Roger the dodger Rogerson.

Black Nexus
The Separation of Powers Doctrine is nowcontaminated witharangeofcolours, now leaving us with a black shirt on a once blue bridge that crossed that thin blue line. The 'Amery and Woodham show'.

Same boat
The Premier, Bob Carr, relies on a militia. A gang of bikies and our Police Service, to show all of us he is no murderer. He should be taken to the task along with his partners in crime like Clive Small to account for those people who like my self have been maliciously assaulted and who have complained, without any service and those who cannot speak for themselves who were murdered, like Terry Falconer. Terry murdered in custody.

Partners in crime - history!
Roger Rogerson, the old hero, who never faced a result in the Warren Lanfranchi, or Sally-Anne Huckstepp murders, was let off in my opinion when the New South Wales Government rolled the legal system (deciding what evidence to give the police prosecutor) to have the jury believe the illusion they (the Government wanted to create).
